My Take: Communal antagonisms in hunt for votes is not the 'achhe din' we were promised

We live in troubling times when unconfirmed reports on sensitive issues lead to three union ministers and the PM himself stirring the Hindu-Muslim pot. There is so far nothing on record to suggest Rahul gandhi claimed that the Congress was a party of Muslims.

Yet, it is just the kind of remark that can be twisted and exploited in the election year for the political advantage.

Giving a communal edge to politics has already gravely damaged the social fabric of the country. We need to come out of the Hindu-Muslim trap that the netas have laid for us before it gets too late.
